The six-module test: how to check an AI claim on any platform

How the test works

Bring six real tasks from your own business to the demo, one per module. Make each request in a single sentence, in your own words. For each one, write down one of three results.

• None. The presenter does the task by hand, or the module does not exist.
• Suggestion. The AI offers text or options inside a form that a person still completes.
• Finished work. The AI returns a complete item that needs only a yes, an edit or a no.

The six requests

The wording below is an example for a shop with a spring sale. Swap in your own offer and keep the shape.

• Plan. 'Plan next week around our spring sale.' Pass mark: dated post ideas on a calendar, not a list of topics.
• Create. 'Make a short video and a carousel for it.' Pass mark: usable media with captions, not a script for you to film.
• Publish. 'Send the approved post to all our networks.' Pass mark: one action, a visible queue and a result for each network.
• Reply. 'Draft answers to today's comments and messages.' Pass mark: drafts with the right facts and links, held for approval.
• Advertise. 'Draft an ad for the sale at a small daily budget.' Pass mark: creative, copy and the cost for the month, marked for review.
• Report. 'Tell me what worked last month.' Pass mark: a written summary that someone outside marketing could follow.

Add the approval column

For every 'finished work' result, add a second mark: did the item wait for a person? A platform that scores six for output and none for approval has failed in a different way.

Reading the tally

Four patterns come up.

• Six finished, six held for approval. AI powered in the sense this reference uses.
• Finished in two or three modules. Partly powered. Check that those modules are the ones you lack time for.
• Suggestions throughout. An AI-assisted platform. Useful if your team does the work and wants a hand with words.
• Finished work with no gate. Automation. Be careful what you connect to it.

Keeping the test fair

Use the same six requests with every vendor and bring your own material. Ask for at least one change to each result, because the second attempt shows whether the AI understood you or got lucky. Do not score promises. 'That is on the roadmap' counts as a none.

The test measures where the AI works. It does not measure how good the result is for your brand, so keep the outputs and look at them again the next morning.

Where Link AI fits

Our recommendation, Link AI by Linkme, rests on what Linkme's page shows for each row of the worksheet: a planned week with trends added to the calendar, images and a 15-second Reel, a Publishing Queue that ends in 'Published to all', reply drafts in a Social Inbox, a budgeted Meta ad draft waiting under 'Needs review', and an owner report.

A published description is not a result, and nothing has been scored here. The worksheet is yours to fill in. Book a demo to try Link AI with your six requests ready. The buyer's guide covers what the worksheet leaves out, such as cost and data.
